Where were you raised?

I was born in Rome,Italy. Came to America by way of N.Y. in 1954.
Finished school in N.J.
Chased the American dream all over this wonderful country of ours.
I was raised as a Mason in Stone Mountain Ga.
Lodge 449.
Became a Shriner at The Yaarab Temple in Atlanta,

I retired in AZ. 6 years ago.
Wrote my memoir titled "I Wouldn`t Die' in 2004.
It has received great international press.
My involvement with the Masonic organization was a very important part of my life and my book brings it out.
Ciao` for now.

I am amazed with as many members as there are World Wide, that we do not get participation in such a dear subject.

Hi there

I was initiated, passed and raised in London.

Are you still a freemason, or have you resigned?

Always be a Freemason, however I went on to also become a Shriner and I try to do what I can in my small way to help Burn children.
Masonry is the foundation, so that will never go away.
My book actually talks about how important it was to me as well as my father-in-law.
Thanks for asking.

Greetings from new zealand. I'm very pleased to find other brethren from the other parts of world. I was initiated, passed and raised in auckland. resigned briefly due to vocational pressure, then has rejoined the craft again.

I just found at Yahoo

It is a very nice group that posts interesting messages.
This does not suggest not keeping this group as I enjoy it, but for those who are also Shriners, it can be beneficial.
